Sonia’s world is shattered when she pieces together the horrifying truth—Reiss is the one responsible for Debbie’s death. The confrontation between them escalates as Sonia questions how someone else could have known intimate details of the crime. At first, Reiss tries to cover his tracks, insisting it was just bad luck that the story matched up so perfectly. But as Sonia presses him, the cracks begin to show.
Desperate, Reiss claims that he never intended to hurt anyone. He was overwhelmed by financial pressures, struggling to keep up with IVF treatments and rising care home costs. Debbie’s insurance policy seemed like a way out, a solution that would ensure a future for him and Sonia. But the weight of his actions is undeniable.
Sonia, now horrified, demands to know what really happened. Reiss attempts to justify his choices, saying he believed he was setting Debbie free from a life of suffering. But Sonia refuses to accept his excuses—Debbie’s fate was not his decision to make.
As the walls close in on Reiss, his desperation grows. He confesses that things spiraled out of control, that he never planned for Sonia to be accused, that he tried to get her out of prison in his own way. But when someone—Bian—threatened to expose the truth, he had no choice but to silence her too.
Sonia is horrified. “Where is she?” she demands. Reiss hesitates, then drops a devastating bombshell—Bian is dead.
With nowhere left to run, Reiss makes a final plea to Sonia, saying he did it all for love, for their future. But for Sonia, there’s no forgiveness left. As she steels herself to call the police, Reiss realizes that his world is crumbling before his eyes. The truth is out, and there’s no turning back.
